The Scripted Goodbye

2026-03-04

The spotlight was burning on my face, bullet comments scrolling wildly. The door suddenly burst open—he was here. Randal Dawson rushed straight to me and fell to his knees with a thud, causing the number of people in the live stream room to instantly explode. "Helen," he said, his voice hoarse like sandpaper, "let's get a divorce." I pressed my fingers into my palm. "Why?" "I'm going to marry Thea." A terrifying obsession burned in his eyes. My phone vibrated wildly on the table as Joyce's scream burst out of the receiver: "Helen! The new product orders have hit over five million!" Five million. That number hit me like a splash of ice water. I leaned in close to him and whispered in a voice only we could hear, "Divorce? Fine. But you have to help me make the new product a huge hit."收起

Chapter 1 of "The Scripted Goodbye"

The spotlight was on my face as I spoke directly to the camera, explaining the core design concept of the new product. The bullet comments in the live stream room scrolled quickly, with pink gift special effects occasionally streaking across the screen. This was the new product promotion I had been preparing for six months. The moment the door opened, I caught a glimpse of that familiar figure out of the corner of my eye. It's Randal Dawson. He wasn't wearing his usual bespoke suit; dressed casually, he still radiated an undeniable nobility. But his face was shockingly pale, with heavy red veins under his eyes. The bullet comments in the live stream room instantly went crazy, completely drowning out the original product discussions. "Is that Mr. Dawson?" "Oh my god, why is Mr. Dawson here?" I tightened my grip on the microphone, kept a smile on my face, and softly said to the camera, "Please wait a moment, everyone." I thought he had come to confront me. After all, in these past two weeks, the few times we met were scarce, and every call ended with his impatience. But I never expected him to walk straight up to me and, in front of countless cameras, slowly drop to one knee. The sound of his knee hitting the floor went 'thud'—not loud, but it struck my heart like a hammer. The live stream room totally exploded. The bullet comments were so thick they nearly covered the entire screen, gift special effects flooded everywhere, and the servers even lagged briefly. "Did I see that right? Did Mr. Dawson just kneel?" "Help, my hands are shaking—someone please tell me what's going on!" Randal Dawson lifted his head, his eyes filled with a stubbornness and fatigue I couldn't fathom. "Helen," he said, his voice rough and hoarse, "let's get a divorce." My heart felt gripped by an invisible hand, a tight, overwhelming pain spreading through me. These words—I had imagined them before, just never expected to hear them said like this, in a moment like this. "Why?" I heard my voice trembling, but I forced myself to stay composed. "I want to marry Thea," he said with absolute conviction, as if it were his one true obsession. "If I can't marry her, I'll die with no peace." Thea. Thea Sullivan. I've heard that name way too many times lately. His phone wallpaper is her, his pinned chats are her, and even the faint scent on his clothes is the unique cream fragrance from her cake shop. Before I could even respond, the phone at the corner of the table suddenly vibrated. It was assistant Joyce calling. I picked up, and her voice came through the receiver, almost cracking with excitement: "Helen! The new product orders have already surpassed five million! That's more than three times what we expected!" Five million. That number hit me like a thunderbolt, shattering my chaotic thoughts.

A Mother's Vengeance

The red light in the emergency room went out, and I had to prop myself up against the wall to stay on my feet, my mind fixated on nothing but that door. Dylan's car skidded to a stop, his suit reeking of perfume. "She's gone? I told you to keep an eye on her. All that effort, for nothing." I grabbed him by the collar and screamed, "That's your daughter! Where were you last night? Why didn't you answer the phone?" He shoved me away. "I was with Rachel and Leo for their birthday. Isn't having you enough for Alice?" "Leo?" My heart plummeted. "You were with your illegitimate son and didn't care if your own daughter lived or died?"...

You want the three kids, you cling to the family fortune—this life is the only thing I still have a say over." "I never said I wouldn't let you go. Leave the kids behind!" His voice was both furious and flustered. "Leave them to be at Cindy's mercy? When you forced me to stay with the kids under the pretense of being a nanny, did you ever think this day would come?" "It was to protect you all!" He roared, "Cindy won't let you off the hook—come back...

He Married My Nightmare

"Kate, do you think this wedding gown looks good on me?" Sylvia Bertrand's voice was as sweet as honey, yet laced with poison. "Theodore picked it out himself." She leaned down, her fingertips pressing into my chin, "He said he wanted me to be the happiest bride." "Guess," she chuckled softly, "when the fireworks go off at the wedding later, do you think he'll remember you?" Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door. A familiar voice pierced the door panel: "Sylvia?" My blood froze in an instant. Sylvia Bertrand suddenly clamped her hand over my mouth, her nails digging into my festering flesh. She sweetly coquetted to the door outside, "Coming right away, darling——" Then, close to my ear, she spoke...
